Geophysics

Reliable and detailed information about the Earth s subsurface is of crucial importance throughout the geosciences.

Everyday Applied Geophysics 1 covers the physical methods permitting the environmental exploration of the sub-surface in 1, 2, 3 or 4 dimensions (the last is for time-lapse in terms of physical environmental state and geometry).
